Memories....Called in my very first fall bird on my very first fall hunt with one of those Smith butternut boxes.  Just mimicked the yelping I heard, and here the flock comes.

I gave that box away many years ago and regretted doing so since.

That's the one right there!  Forgot about the little swing door and hole in the box end for a small piece of chalk.

Nice one!

Interesting.

When I was in high school my buddy and I were working a bird.  The bird would just give us a courtesy gobble here and there.  All of the sudden the bird went nuts gobbling and quickly walked away.  A little later we got up and did eventually see another hunter.  Turns out he got the bird fired up with a "sweet butternut" box call.  We never heard of it.  Now I know what he was using!

I have 5 sweet butternut calls from Mr. Smith. Two of which he signed and dated the very last day he was in buisness. One of the unsigned calls could be bought.
